SAEDNEWS: In a striking escalation of personal animosity turned political, Donald Trump has reignited his long-standing feud with comedian Rosie O’Donnell by publicly announcing that he is “seriously considering” revoking her U.S. citizenship.
According to Saed News, in a Truth Social post on Saturday, president claimed that O’Donnell is “not good for our great country” and labeled her “a threat to humanity,” suggesting that if Ireland wants her, “she should stay in that wonderful country.” He concluded the message with his signature flourish: “God bless America.”
Legal scholars were quick to respond. Steve Vladeck, a constitutional law professor at Georgetown University and Supreme Court analyst for CNN, dismissed the threat as blatantly unconstitutional. “Stripping a U.S. citizen of their nationality is extraordinarily difficult — and compulsory expatriation is even more so,” Vladeck said, noting that Congress has only authorized such measures under extremely limited circumstances.
The provocation follows a viral TikTok video in which O’Donnell lambasted the Trump administration’s response to the Texas floods, accusing him of dismantling critical early warning and weather forecasting systems. O’Donnell, who relocated to Ireland shortly before Trump’s 2017 inauguration, has said her departure was a direct reaction to his election and the ominous implications of his Project 2025 agenda.
Responding on Instagram, O’Donnell fired back: “You want to revoke my citizenship? Go ahead, try it, Orange King Joffrey. I don’t belong to you and never did.”
The Trump–O’Donnell feud, dating back to 2006, is a grim microcosm of how political power can be weaponized against dissent. But this latest episode has jolted constitutional experts and civil rights advocates, who warn that even symbolic threats from a president set a dangerous precedent.
